"Old Dragon King, what kind of painting is this?"
"Great Sage, this painting is called Three Steps on the Bridge, and it depicts what happened after you were crushed under the Five Elements Mountain."
"What do you mean?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"This old immortal is Huang Shigong, and this young man is Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty. Huang Shigong wanted to pass on his military manual to Zhang Liang, so he deliberately dropped his shoe under a bridge and asked Zhang Liang to retrieve it. When he put it on again, he dropped it again. He did this three times. Seeing that Zhang Liang showed no arrogance or neglect, Huang Shigong passed on the heavenly manual to Zhang Liang and asked him to help the Han Dynasty. Later, he indeed masterminded strategies and won victories thousands of miles away, helping the Han Dynasty to be founded. Upon achieving his goal, he retired to seek immortality."
The Dragon King remembered Guanyin's instructions, came close to Sun Wukong and said sincerely.
"Great Sage, isn't this exactly the state you're in now? Those various contradictions are merely tests from the Buddhist sect. If you return to Flower-Fruit Mountain, without protecting the Golden Cicada and accepting its teachings and instructions, your future life will be nothing more than a demon immortal, without achieving the true fruit and entering the orthodox tradition."
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes when he heard this.
If he hadn't met the old man, he would have been persuaded by these words. But when he met the old man Baihu and Nuwa, he knew there was something behind it.
Before entering the Dragon Palace, the old man Baihu told him that the Dragon King would definitely persuade him to go back.
The old man was right again.
This is a Buddhist scam.
Sun Wukong looked at the painting of the three shoes on the Waiqiao Bridge with his fiery eyes, and sure enough, he saw a clue.
There is also a hint of Buddhist atmosphere in the painting.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was just staring at the painting in silence, Ao Guang hurriedly said, "Great Sage, please think carefully about this. Don't be greedy for freedom and delay your future and achieve your goals."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled lightly.
If the old man hadn't reminded me, I would have probably fallen into this trap.
If you don't covet freedom, will you be deceived and used by Buddhism in the future?
But the old man Baihu told him not to reveal it too early, and to wait until his cultivation was restored and he was no longer afraid of Tathagata before revealing it.
"Old Dragon King, it's alright, alright. I, Old Sun, will be back soon. My future and my position are more important."
"That's right," Ao Guang said happily. He wanted to send the monkey away right now, but he could only put on a smile.
"Then I, Old Sun, will go. I'll come back to talk to the old Dragon King about old times."
"That's right. The Great Sage's immortal path is important. Go ahead."
After seeing Sun Wukong off, Ao Guang wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
That ancestor finally passed away. He still has psychological trauma from what happened five hundred years ago.
Not long after Sun Wukong left, Guanyin appeared in the East China Sea.
